Abstract
Objective:
Rosuvastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor used for the treatment of dyslipidaemia, may be co-administered with antacids in clinical practice.
This trial assessed the effect of simultaneous and separated administration of an antacid preparation containing aluminium hydroxide 220 mg/5 mL and magnesium hydroxide 195 mg/5 mL (co-magaldrox 195/220) on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin.
Research design and methods:
A randomised, open-label, three-way crossover trial was performed. Healthy male volunteers (n = 14) received a single dose of rosuvastatin 40 mg alone, rosuvastatin 40 mg plus 20 mL antacid suspension taken simultaneously, and rosuvastatin 40 mg plus 20 mL antacid suspension taken 2 h after rosuvastatin on three separate occasions with a washout of > or = 7 days between each.
Main outcome measures:
The primary parameters were area under the rosuvastatin plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC(0-t)) and maximum observed rosuvastatin plasma concentration (C(max)) in the absence and presence of antacid.
Results:
When rosuvastatin and antacid were given simultaneously, the antacid reduced the rosuvastatin AUC(0-t) by 54% (90% confidence interval [CI] for the treatment 0.40-0.53) and C(max) by 50% (90% CI 0.41-0.60). When the antacid was given 2 h after rosuvastatin, the antacid reduced the rosuvastatin AUC(0-t) by 22% (90% CI 0.68-0.90) and the C(max) by 16% (90% CI 0.70-1.01). The effect of repeated antacid administration was not studied and it cannot be discounted that this may have resulted in a stronger interaction than that observed here.
Conclusions:
Simultaneous dosing with rosuvastatin and antacid resulted in a decrease in rosuvastatin systemic exposure of approximately 50%. This effect was mitigated when antacid was administered 2 h after rosuvastatin.

5 herbs and spices that can reduce the effect of drugs
- Health
Many seemingly harmless herbs and herbal preparations can interact with various drugs and reduce their effect.
So, when prescribing dietary supplements for yourself, you should be very careful.

We know about the health benefits of garlic and green tea, both recognized as powerful antioxidants. It is very useful to use them in the diet in moderation, but it can be unsafe to get involved in preparations based on them. And not only them. There are other herbs and spices that seriously affect the effectiveness of the pharmaceutical preparations you take, writes ProNews.
Turmeric
This spice and dietary supplements with curcumin are often called “fool’s gold”. Science considers its antitumor, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties to be only potential. But the interaction of curcumin with drugs can even be dangerous.
There is evidence that curcumin may reduce the effect of many antidepressants and neuroleptics. It is also known to interact with anticoagulants, antacids, drugs to control blood pressure.
– Whole turmeric, turmeric extract or pure curcumin are credited with at least 175 different beneficial physiological effects and more than 600 different indications, explains renowned physician, toxicologist Alexei Vodovozov. “But if you search the available databases for relevant studies, it turns out that of them are at the preclinical stage, , that is, cell cultures and laboratory animals (mice and rats). And the results found are of interest mainly to mice and rats, because they are transferred to humans very, very rarely.

Garlic
Garlic extract can reduce the concentration of cardiac glycosides, glucocorticoids – drugs that transport P-glycoprotein protein across the cell membrane – such as colchicine, quinidine, desloratadine, digoxin, rosuvastatin and others , writes ProNews
Garlic extract can also thin the blood like aspirin, which can be a problem if you are taking blood thinners.
– It happens that people take both aspirin and anticoagulants, then the risk of bleeding increases exponentially.
I have had such cases. People go to the hospital to the surgeons on the operating table, because they have gastrointestinal bleeding, , doctor Boris Shelyapin told Doctor Peter earlier.
Green tea
Everyone knows about the benefits of green tea – it has antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory, promotes the expansion of cerebral vessels, improves its nutrition, oxygen supply. All this is true, if you drink 2-3 cups of quality green tea a day. Although it is not shown to everyone – after all, a drink can lower blood pressure and harm ulcers.
Taking green tea extract as a dietary supplement can also be hazardous to health. There is evidence that green tea extract may reduce the effectiveness of some statins and some beta-blockers used to treat hypertension. Also concentrated green tea supplements may interact with some vasoconstrictors.
Thistle or milk thistle
This plant is believed to have many beneficial properties, and the active substance silymarin contained in it is called the first “protector” of the liver.
